*Our Defensive Shooting Fundamentals course is a Pre-RequisiteThis course is designed for concealed carry weapon holders. It utilizes SIRT laser training pistols to develop the skills required to use your firearm safely and legally to protect yourself or others, while making critical decisions under stress. Basic courses like state mandated CCW classes do not adequately prepare citizens to use their firearm for self-defense.
This course focuses on the fighting aspect of being able to get to your gun and use it in an effective manner for self-defense when justified by law.

Business Neighborhood: Fenton Plaza/Olde TowneLet's Get Together... In Your Neighborhood! Meeting members & supporting businesses... one neighborhood at a time!
The Fenton Chamber is committed to meeting members where they are. Through the "In Your Neighborhood" program, we make it EASIER for our members to connect with Fenton Chamber staff and fellow members, as well as meeting fellow business owners near them that they may not meet at other events. With each of these IYN events, we select/target a "neighborhood" location by choosing a meeting place for breakfast/lunch/after hours. All are welcome to each IYN event, but we do make an effort to personally invite members (event non-members) within close distance of that location to attend.
No event fee; attendees pay their own way
